@jacques_chester I'd like to pre-order please! Came on Twitter for the first time in months just now to ask for a book on things like CRDTs and Lamport clocks!

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

Can anyone recommend books that cover things like Lamport clocks and CRDTs in an engaging manner? Something as approachable as @munificentbob's Game Programming Patterns (but for distributed computing algorithms) would be ace if such a thing exists.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@Raspberry_Pi If the new Pi 5 experiences a power cut, will it automatically boot when power is restored? Or will the new power switch need to be pressed? My use case is a remote location with intermittent electricity. Losing power is fine, as long as the Pi boots on restoration.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@GarethPrice You okay mate? It looks like you might be getting a bit of cabin fever there. I hope you're well.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@dynamic_proxy I just signed into Twitter for the first time in a year to try and search for an old tweet.

Your post on The Muppet Show has somewhat restored my faith in humanity after virtually everything in my feed being a RT of some horrific extreme view or other regarding Israel/Gaza.

I resigned from @EngineerBetter in may, and wanted to thank everyone that I am indebted to:

I'm working on barn conversions and eco-tourism for the moment. I probably won't be paying much attention to Twitter or LinkedIn.

Want something building?

• Good
• Fast
• Cheap
• Complicated

You get to choose three.

Anyone going to #FullyChargedLive - the parking place is nowhere near the exhibition centre. Satnav will be misleading, and some local signage is missing. Finding it is a bit of a mission!

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

I've realised many years too late courtesy of @JplusCplusM: @concourseci resources should have had a forcing function in the interface to make authors to separate the contract of a resource from the implementation, and resources should have all come with mock implementations.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@FullyChargedShw Can you please use a high-pass filter on the audio of your YouTube videos? Something to cut out unintentional sounds <20hz or so.

Watching them on a device with a subwoofer is quite uncomfortable. Lots of very loud noises when someone bumps into a mic/desk.

@DanielJonesEB @AlexEvade @shalako I also did some experimentation of generating CRDs from an OSBAPI catalog a long time ago. https://t.co/C0j6ovncuG

[Sam Gunaratne @sam_gun]

@DanielJonesEB @AlexEvade @shalako I wasn't involved in the original service-catalog k8s implementation of OSBAPI can't comment on that. https://t.co/QwLiGkEFcK and Tanzu Application Platform both use the Claim analogy for Services using CRDs (non-OSBAPI though).

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@wlamartin Have you seen what the folks at @MiaPlatform are doing? Has elements of StoryScript to it, but is closer to the low-level stuff.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

Dagnammit - I just realised the OSBAPI and service brokers kinda missed the point. Brokers were concerned with how to provision and deploy the data services. What's most important is contract of how to consume each such service.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@gsiener @janloewenstein Yep, totally true!

It's a bit like the term "Manager" in Java class names.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@jimmyhacksstuff How does https://t.co/eWmsaLDghI compare to Heimdall Data?

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@dynamic_proxy I'm intrigued by Elden Ring and the hubbub around it, but I've never play a FromSoftware game.

I'm fine with going through the Halo series on Legendary. How much harder/more frustrating than that is Elden Ring likely to be? I've got a job and kids, and my patience is short.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@AlexEvade @shalako @sam_gun @1mattmc True story: I still remember being impressed with how good @sam_gun was at presenting, the first time I saw him speak at a conference.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

Did the OSBAPI community consider representing the binding flow as CRDs?

I'm wondering if service access could be treated kinda like StorageClasses, PersistentVolumes, and PersistentVolumeClaims.

Ping @AlexEvade and @shalako.

[Daniel Jones @DanielJonesEB]

@arthfl Ha, kinda! Things like BOSH Links and dependencies on other releases would be cool to have, but with OCI images and Kubernetes primitives instead.
